Milk Bar Starts Something Sweet In Logan Circle

On Saturday, Milk Bar, the award-winning bakery known for putting its playful spin on familiar desserts, opened its third DC location – and Hungry Lobbyist was invited to check out the space before its official opening. And if we can tell you anything, it’s that things are about to get a whole lot sweeter.

The cakes are pre-made – better than letting 30 non-bakers loose on the bakery’s ovens – and attendees are tasked with turning these sheet cakes, jars of frosting, and Milk Bar-made crumbs into a final six-inch version.

It’s a ton of fun, and a good learning experience too. For instance, we learned that Milk Bar drizzles vanilla milk on the layers of cake as it builds the full-sized version to keep it moist. In addition, Milk Bar adds a touch of oil to the chocolate coating of its truffles to ensure the chocolate melts smoother.
